If I hide a form, then unhide it, it seems to change size. Any idea why this is or how I can stop it? (I generally show only one of the two forms at a time)

I do have a way to determine what size it needs to be but am not sure where to put my re-sizing routine (the form needs to be different sizes for different configurations) It is generally resized on the load event.
